Thou shalt not adore them, and thou shalt not serve them. For I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon their children unto the third and fourth generation, to them that hate me,

Deuteronomy 3:15 To Machir also I gave Galaad.

. The word {elohim}, which is rendered God, in the singular, {eloah}, and in Arabic {allah}, is derived from the Arabic {alaha}, he worshipped, adored, was struck with astonishment, fear, or terror: and hence, he adored with sacred honour and veneration: it also signifies, he succoured, liberated, kept in safety, or defended. Here we learn that {elohim} denotes the {sole object of adoration}; the perfections of whose nature must {astonish} all whom contemplate them, and fill with {horror} all who rebel against him; that consequently he must be {worshipped with reverence and religious fear}; and that every sincere worshipper may expect {help} in all his weaknesses, etc., {freedom} from the power, guilt, and consequences of sin, and {support} and {defence} to the uttermost.
